Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

25 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is ≥ 25 years of age
  • Patient is either male or female
  • Outpatient. Change to inpatient is not allowed during the study period
  • Blood pressure is measured 3 times or more during the 4-week observation period; the last 2 measurements in the sitting position (intervals between measurements must be less than 4 weeks) are stabilized for both of systolic pressure (within +/- 30 mmHg) and diastolic pressure within +/- 15 mmHg) with the mean exceeding 160 mmHg for systolic and 95 mmHG for diastolic pressure

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has severe hypertension (the last 2 measurements in the observation period exceed 120 mmHg in terms of diastolic blood pressure)
  • Patient has secondary or malignant hypertension
  • Patient has a history of severe cardiac failure, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within previous six months
  • Patient has atrioventricular conduction disturbance, atrial fibrillation or severe arrhythmia
  • Patient has any symptoms of cerebrovascular disorder
  • Patient has serious hepatic dysfunction (either GOT (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) or GPT (glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) exceeds 100 U)
  • Patient has renal dysfunction (serum creatinin ≥ 2.1 mg/dl)
  • Patient has uncontrolled diabetic (either of the following tests exceeds the specified standards: fasting blood glucose exceeding 151 mg/dl or HbA1c exceeding 8%)
  • Patient has a history of drug sensitivity to ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists
  • Patient has a history of angioedema due to ACE inhibitors
  • Patient has hyperkalemia (K exceeding 5.5 mEq/l)
  • Patient has received enalapril just before the start of observation period
  • Patient has received treatment with any other investigational drug(s) within three months of the start of observation period
  • Patients is pregnant, breast-feeding, or possible pregnant, or wants to be pregnant during the study period
  • Patient has any other condition that the investigator or subinvestigator feels would be inappropriate for the study participation

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Antihypertensive effect
Time Frame: every 2 weeks up to week 12
every 2 weeks up to week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Rate of normalized blood pressure
Time Frame: every 2 weeks up to week 12
every 2 weeks up to week 12
Occurrence of the adverse event cough
Time Frame: up to 12 weeks
up to 12 weeks
Decrease in blood pressure (mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure)
Time Frame: every 2 weeks up to week 12
every 2 weeks up to week 12

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 1, 1998

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
